Study program structure and content
During the initial semesters, students take lectures in general chemistry and attend seminars to review and strengthen their mathematics skills. Practical laboratory sessions provide instruction in fundamental laboratory techniques. The focus there is on important separation methods and initial experiments. At the same time, you enroll in educational science courses and classes in your secondary subject.
From the second semester onwards, you delve deeper into the core subjects of inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. Alongside this, students take physics courses to develop a comprehensive scientific way of thinking.
The teaching degree includes several modules in educational sciences, which address questions of upbringing and education. In addition, you complete a three-week orientation internship at a school during your studies

Images from the study program
Get a glimpse of how the study program works.
Teaching degree students at the University of Stuttgart gain early contact with school students: In the Fehling Lab, they can try out teaching with different class levels.
The course content is delivered through lectures, exercises, seminars, and practical laboratory sessions. Lectures are held in large lecture halls for all students. Chemistry lectures are typically scheduled in the mornings.
Seminars and exercises are used to reinforce lecture content, explain its relevance to lab experiments, and prepare for them. These sessions typically involve smaller groups of about 15 students.
The experiments in the practical laboratory sessions are carried out either individually or in pairs, depending on the course. Experiments are thoroughly prepared in advance using lab manuals and textbooks. During the lecture period, laboratory sessions are typically scheduled in the afternoons. There are also full-day practicl laboratory sessions during the lecture-free periods.
After each experiment, a report must be written documenting the procedures and observations.
